Why are we here? Why do we take up real estate on this little planet called Earth? The default answer for most evangelicals is found in the Westminster Catechism, which states, "e;Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever."e; That's great, but just how do we do that? Well, the author suggests that God planted a garden (us) on this planet for the same reason that anyone else plants a garden-to harvest the fruit. So just what is this fruit that the Master Gardener is looking for, and how do we produce it?The author will use scripture, science, personal experiences, and a little humor (just for fun) to discover how agricultural metaphors in the Bible help us understand how we can grow spiritually and fulfill our purpose in life-to glorify Him forever. It's as simple as (1) plow the soil, (2) plant the seed, (3) prune the plants, (4) pick the harvest, and (5) preserve the fruit.You can learn a lot from a garden, and for the author, it was life-changing to realize it really is all about the fruit!
